    The forum will NEVER be the same again no matter who takes over, how can it be when Craig is gone? no-one could run it like him, I don’t care who takes over the forum as I won’t be around anyway so it’s neither here nor there with me but I do dislike Davies and I have cause to, none of you know what went on so I’d prefer those to stop trying to point a finger at me because I’ve had a dig at him, I’ll sort it all out some day believe me and I’ll post somewhere and let you all know.

    I have been reading this passage for three
    years waiting for aome enlightenment.
    It’s written by a canonized saint
    the late J ST. JIM of this parish.
    I am deeply troubled.
    A saint wouldn’t lie would he
    or speak ill of the dead ?
    He tells me to believe him
    but in other parts of the scripture
    some day is explained as a period
    in the near future.

    Gamble,since you told me that the thread which your post relates to was saved–I’ve been having a little read of it.I wonder how this forum would be today if ‘the log’ had gained ownership?

    btw, I called this forum a parish in the ‘Mysterious Disappearance’ thread.Every parish must have a church,hence this thread.

    Never expected any visitors…Well,maybe Grimes.

    Nice of you to pop in :D

    Had the log gained ownership
    well some would have logged off.
    J ST JIM would have stayed to argue,
    and there would have been tensions,
    but this site would have survived.
    He might not have posted.

    The log maintaned that TRF would be
    unchanged bar a banner for his exchange.
    Backandlay was run on a shoestring
    a shoestring cut by the powers that
    rewarded the bankers.

    The log was trenchant, determined
    and to a large extent inflexible.
    He changed through his mammoth writing.
    I was sorry his 1% exchange with three
    or four low budget angels did not survive.
    It was a good idea, however had Davies
    been more vigorous, and invested more, he
    might have come good with it.
    Who knows ?

    I never gave him any advice
    apart from decimal odds,
    which he argued about until forced to change.
    The site was modelled on his image
    rather than what was needed.
    I found the green background
    rather tawdry and uninspiring.
    Had he modelled on the old FLUTTER
    with its large pink and blue betting buttons
    he would have attracted a lot more.
    A lot more zing was needed.
    Hills is god was a good addition
    but he needed mountains of god to energize it.
    I think it was £10000 pounds that killed
    him off and his future little pension pot,
    very sad.

    It is sad that little green[/color:3s7o1dw7] never made it big.I think he’s an ok guy,from what I’ve seen of him on many forums.His main failing,imo,was that he could never admit to being wrong about anything.He always had to have the last word.Maybe this is why some didn’t like him?

    I’d like to see his words again, but even if Corm offered the olive branch I’m not sure he’d take it.He seems to be banned from most places,but he could post on betfair where he was C A T.The fact that he didn’t bother much may mean he’s bored of board life.I do feel that this is the place where he felt truly at home,though.

    Dem rivers run deep
    even at this renewal
    time of year the bells
    don’t jingle.
    They clang their might
    to ring out the big
    ol’ heavy fight.

    Not an olive branch
    more like a boot
    thrown with force
    at a quickly snapping
    cat flap.

    The three angels would meet
    with him down the pub.
    Not just to discuss the
    the risk averse dark green
    just to down some drinks
    ‘n’ chat a little industry
    and be friendly.

    It was in a pub
    many years earlier
    that the takeover of Flutter
    was first propositioned.
    By all accounts it did not
    take much alcohol
    just a self aggrandisement sandwich
    the type often sold in the square mile
    before it was re-named the dead pig.

    Some still talk of it as the great stitch up
    and that piggy went in there without his glasses
    like David minus his sling
    drinking against an adidas shooed Goliath
    who threw numbers at him.

    Others call it the great reckoning
    and fair play in correcting the
    mimmicking stutter of an imitator
    whose boots were over-filled with venture capital,
    and were only in it for the beer ‘n crack.

    Started over a drink
    finished over a drink
    that was Flutter.son
    Wham Bam thank you Maam

    are you inuit ?

    The church was narrow –
    so narrow in fact
    that parishioners
    had to climb over each other
    to reach the altar
    and some were then
    in dire need
    to access the confessional

    I see it’s snowing in places like Haydock and Ascot.It’s even quite chilly down here in glorious Devon.I’m half thinking of putting the heating on.

    oh I expect your boiler’s packed up through lack of use :)
    shocking water rates in Devon, enough to turn anyone to drink…

    are you inuit ?

    :) very good..
    and yes, I am – shovelling snow all day :x

    Those poor people on Eurostar…nightmare

    This church is a novel place.
    Zome’s psychiatrist had energy
    but you can’t beat a building
    even if there are cabages on the seats
    where people should be sitting.
    If you are holding a service
    on thursday Tor I will try to look in.

    Strangely I considered igloo
    was a reference to the insularity
    and prevelance of old testament in here
    rather than simply being snowed in.

    The word has refreshed me
    and I would thank you for that Ugly Mare.

    I have little or no more to write
    about Davies apart from to add that
    he was a refreshing hands off moderator of the
    Flutter forum, years past,
    in allowing the mayhem of the
    clone wars to bloody the betting parchment
    for three weeks.
    Certainly the forum and exchange
    had an umbilical.

    I found he was very fair
    in rightly banning me after
    my falsely owning up to my creation
    of the the damaging havoc wreaking clones;
    gamble dash gamble space dash
    and pacal gamble. The last one escapes
    my memory :?
    The dishonesty was worth it
    as I took pleasure in sinking a sharp knife
    – deep into David Marshall –
    the real perpetrator’s pride.

    I was later re-instated after
    an earlier coded message in a post
    saved me.
    The strange art continued for
    a month or two before Davies
    pulled the plug.

    Why I bring up this old history
    I cannot quite fathom.
    It seems oddly important :|

    The basic word igloo
    has saved me from
    from further wanderings
    into history.

    I’m pleased to hear you may put this to bed gamble – let sleeping dogs lie – as it does seem to pain you somewhat. A few skeletons in your cupboard I think by the sound of things, but it’s good to get them aired occasionally.

    The person your speak so much of, Mr Davies, I always found a chatty forum-er, I knew little else about him, and can only judge on that basis. I like chatty people :)

    The igloo has grown larger today.

    I see Tor
    apart from
    his interesting question
    has made this
    a christian edifice
    ensuring any service
    will be small.

    I think you slightly misread
    my intentions Ugly Mare.

    Davies is attracted
    by bright lights.
    He is almost myth
    and I have taken such delight
    in his earlier plight
    and given him extra lift
    to watch him like a kite

    It’s all history
    so grand
    and of far more
    interest than
    if and how
    Cecil’s tiger does
    in sand.

    I have no chip
